Well, they say you shouldn't "shoot into the sun" but when you haven't had that much sun over the past weeks you just have to break that rule 😉

Compositionally Challenged 40
Break the rules
(It takes quite a bit of effort to convice myself not to trust my instinct in terms of composition... but it's a fun endeavor at the same time)
Shot with a (Tomioka) "Copal-E35 8.5 cm F 5.6" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
The rule of thirds is broken. The subject is in the center of the picture

Compositionally Challenged 40
Break the rules
(Not only is this shot out of focus, it was shot in a fatal combination of direct sunlight on shiny metal and deep shadows on dark wood.)
Shot with a Steinheil "Cassar-S 50 mm F 2.8" on a Canon EOS R5.
Due to drought conditions it was not a great wildflower year in my area, but I did stop by the roadside when I saw these wild roses. For flowers I usually prefer a macro lens, tripod, and cloudy day, so naturally I shot this hand held in bright sunshine with a 500mm telephoto! (There are no rules, only bright - or dim - ideas about what works and what does not. Take everything with the proverbial grain of sodium chloride.)

Macro photography can be a great way to abstract everyday objects, but just because abstract photography more often depicts geometric shapes, lines, and curves, that doesn't mean the images are meaningless.
When you try to take these types of photographs with a mixture of water and oil, you never know how the final result will be or how it will turn out! Here I show you mine!
A tiny world of circles, this time in black and white!
Happy monday to everyone!

#52Frames #W53:BreakTheRules
Anytime (Unlike the last, unlike the past)
Diving into the reflection of one's self
is a lesson in how to fly beyond time
through the mind of hallowed ground
stepping on gilt radiated sunset riverbanks
flowing between wet and dry memories profound
this then, the elevated stepping-stone
marks a point, a hurdle, an accomplishment
be it nothing at all, or the very essence of all
it bequeaths nothing, yet everything is here
and to take this moment, is to catch a fall
wherever I was is presently deemed meaningless
for this placement recalls nothing,
and thus, this perspective seeks a point
for the convergence of elements hereby conspire
to breathe life again into the hope it can reappoint
a daredevil of mystery fires warnings across the sky
from dawning hurt to twilight muses burning
horizontal - it's shadows are me in disguise
keeping me warm until I am reunited as one
with the health that's lost within it's own demise
intermittently thoughts travel all around the world
those that I hold most dear are free to wander
it's this very vision that has the means to follow
a deeper, wiser dream of being unafraid
capturing all fears and returning them, each one hollow
taking me away forever a reflection of reality
absorbed by Wensumesque-flowings
and resuscitated by filtered Oaken Spring light
bathed in it's rechargeable energy apparent
my life holds...just...for a secular flight.

E's instructor quickly realised the school boy error.

(This is of course way to bright in the highlights... I don't mind it at all though! The lens also doesn't seem to care. I was expecting a significant amount of chromatic abberations.)

AAW December 23 - 20: Break the Rules
WIT: One of the rules of composition is Keep it Simple with the Focus. There is a lot going on in this photo, but I think it works because of the juxtaposition of the homeless man vs. people of money, as the latter are in the distance. Also the people in the distance all have their back turned to the man, so the eye sees two clear groups in the image. Not much in post, just a little bump in the colour and contrast.
Right here I broke the rules I risked my phone getting wet to capture this.

The rule I broke with this is that I didn't use a camera to get the image, but a scanner.

This was pretty challenging had so many ideas that just didn't pan out.
So resorted to . . . me (bleh)
Broke my first 'Rule of Nat' - No serious self-portraits.
I am so over this.

Week #3 ~ Break the Rules
For this week's challenge I broke the rules by not using my camera. To take this picture I used the scanner on my printer and placed the subject off centre.
This week's theme of the 52 weeks of 2015 group was to get pushed out of your comfort zone by someone else in the group. I was very happy to partner up with my friend Deb Shoning; check out her wonderful stream at www.flickr.com/photos/59045699@N05/ and you know why. She gave me this challenge:
'Luc, you incorporate a lot of people into your images but I don't remember seeing a child. I would like for you to take a photo with a child (or children) in their surroundings. Can't wait to see it. Have fun! Deb'
A tough assignment, since I have no little children of my own any more, and taking pictures of random children in the street as a man arouses suspicion quickly. So, what to do?
The official opening of the new railway station of Delft, last Thursday, was my salvation, since one of the festivities was a sing-in for young children. I wasn't the only person with a camera there, so I could make several pictures without hesitation. And it was so much fun to see the children sing several songs about trains, under the enthusiastic guidance of Félice van der Sande, a well known musician in Delft. In this picture, they are acting to drive through the new train tunnel in a small locomotive.
Thank you Deb for this challenge, it was much fun and stimulated my creativity on how to deal with stepping out of my comfort zone.

Listened to some songs, read some quotes, looked as some other artists' work and got some inspiration...

Our Daily Challenge - Break The Rules - 3/7/13
My sister and I were in Tuscon and decided to pop down to Mexico on a whim. We asked a border guard if we could walk across without our passports. He assured us no American had ever been detained and spent a night in Nogales. We stayed only one hour and crossed back in a long line of other idiots who left their passports at home. First they take a Mexican woman and her son into a private room for questioning. Then right ahead of us are three drunk college students wearing ponchos. Luckily we made it home but I will never break the rules again! Meanwhile that wall is so upsetting and just plain wrong.
This is MK Shopping Mall. I saw a green mesh covering the glass roof where workmen were doing something to the building. I thought it looked like grass, so I turned the image upside down!
Luckily it was very early, so not many folk to clone out!
Ok. I think I am learning how to break the rules. The subject is centered - a no no! Items are even and not odd number. A second no no!

ODC - Break the rules
Well my rules - usually like to see the eyes of my subject but loved these two from behind, my granddaughter Roni with her little dog, off with her wheelbarrow on the easter egg hunt.
Explored 5/4/15
For ODC-Fill the Frame. Where do I come up with this stuff? No clue.
For 52 weeks. I'm breaking the rules by dividing my image exactly in half.
52 Weeks Week #3-Breaking the Rules.
The First Commandment of Photography: You shall keep your subject in focus and sharp.
I took the shot of this neon sign in my neighborhood pizza delivery store and I have broken the universal law for photography.
Please pray for me and so I will not be sent to the hell of photographers! Thank you!
Have a great Friday and weekend!
PS. Okay I took the shot with my shaky hands intentionally. In the first shot I forgot to turn off the image stabilization and it appeared so sharp and I have to turn it off and do it again! :o)
Part of the 52 Weeks of 2017
Week: 15
Theme: Breaking the composition rules (Landscape)
A tough one to crack this week. Last year's "Breaking the rules" image (see here) was tough enough, but now trying to break the composition rules for a landscape or seascape image made it tougher.
Not helped by the fact that I didn't go anywhere particularly scenic this week. But given that there's a degree of artistic interpretation, this is a local spot, but with a very different look.
This shot doesn't use the rule of thirds, doesn't have a focal point or foreground interest, in fact nothing is in focus. I also used long exposure and panning motion, which as a combination is not normally associated with traditional landscapes.

...at the risk of sounding a bit arrogant, I've also personally always liked "the sense of impending drama" in this pic - which to be very honest, was seriously more luck than design....! Plus the clouds all cleared about 10 minutes later....!

#3: break the rules
zoom in while shooting is definitly against the rules...
Its my mom's tiffany lamp reflecting in the window and the window sill.
For Week # 3 for the theme is break the rules.... looking through the group most of the rules seem to have already been broken, but I had not noticed this rule being specifically mentioned yet. The concept of Lead room or nose room, which is that the direction a person faces should have some space left that your eye is drawn into. It can be true for moving objects as well.... they should move into empty space (classically). Anyway, I broke this rule by having all of the negative space behind me. I did get a "nosy" and peak toward the camera however ;)
I also clearly need to find some more photography subjects since my default lately has been selfies or my cats, which is starting to become very limiting!!
Formula for the bizarre:
1. One roll of very, very expired 120 format Technical Pan. I mean from October of 1989 expired, and found in the garage stored against an exterior wall in a desert environment for the last 10 years.
2. Diana+ camera on the pinhole + lens setting.
3. Expose for two minutes at the beach.
4. Process in Diafine but completely disregard their recommendations. Instead of three minutes in each solution, soak in solution A for 3 minutes, wash briefly in water, then 45 seconds in solution B. Fix and wash as usual.
Single-pass scanned with an Epson V750 Pro, no corrections or adjustments.
November 10th. First shot in the breaking the rules theme. When I had my first camera, my mum always told me to have the sun behind me and never, ever, shoot into the sun. I like shooting into the sun, and this morning we did actually have some sun. It hasn't lasted.

Theme: BREAK THE RULES
Category: Creative
The rule that I am breaking is the composition rule to never center your subject. I think centering works great here.
